We now work from home more often and we are responsible for client endpoints for both our domestic and international business units. We have leveraged desktop video conference, VoIP, IM, SMS, etc, to stay more connected when we are working with remote business partners. But technology is only a tool and the largest hurdle that we face is our own limitations on meaningful connectivity when not physically together. Almost my entire job can be done from home but there seems to be a physiological disconnect between my team mates if we do not meet together at least once a week. I think that this is a personal limitation because there are others that work in other states that I work better with remotely then team members that are physically next to me. <BR/>I think that the next generation will have far fewer issues with physical isolation while still maintaining a social connects since this is the world that they grew up in.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660242224902544737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36118108.post-29091120887120898632008-06-27T02:03:00.000-07:002008-06-27T02:03:00.000-07:00I agree that video is the most engaging form of on...I agree that video is the most engaging form of online media today, and it only looks like it is set to get bigger. It seems though, that the concept of using social networking and video for businesses to increase engagement and enhance collaboration, both externally and internally, has not really reached its full potential. <BR/>This seems like a step in the right direction but it is true that social networking tools don't automatically mean you will recognize someone on the street as the web is virtual and may never constitute to forging real relationships.<BR/>http://www.brandstation.tv/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36118108.post-79091591279348899712008-06-26T09:45:00.000-07:002008-06-26T09:45:00.000-07:00This is an aside from your main point, but even wi...This is an aside from your main point, but even with the best social networking tools available, I will still make the same awkward introductions as Mark. Some people just aren't wired the same way, and we don't easily recognize faces. Instead we have to rely on other clues like voice, hair color, glasses and context.<BR/><BR/>I met you at GTAC and see your picture on this blog every time you post, but my chances of recognizing you next time we meet are slim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
